               Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads         
          as follows:                                                                 
               1.  A combination of a portable vehicle security system                
          programmer and a programmable vehicle security system temporarily           
          connected in wireless communication therewith, the vehicle security         
          system being switchable to a programming mode responsive to a               
          programming mode signal and when in the programming mode setting a          
          plurality of programmable features responsive to feature                    
          programming signals, said portable vehicle security system                  
          programmer comprising:                                                      
               a portable housing;                                                    
               wireless programming mode means in said portable housing for           
          wirelessly communicating to the programmable vehicle security               
          system a programming mode signal;                                           
               a plurality of manually settable switches carried by said              
          portable housing, each manually settable switch having a plurality          
          of manually settable switch positions in which the switch will              
          remain until a different switch position is manually set by a user;         
               indicia on said housing adjacent respective manually settable          
          switches to identify respective programmable features associated            
          therewith; and                                                              
               wireless feature programmer means in said portable housing for         
          wirelessly communicating to the programmable vehicle security               
          system a plurality of feature programming signals based upon the            
          plurality of manually settable switches.
